I want to conect a litle LCD on MBX860. I want to use
microwindows, too.
¿What are the usual lcd uses for this target?
I have Mvista 2.0 kernel.
Thanks.

You aren't going to connect an LCD to the MBX860 and see anything.
There isn't any LCD controller on the 860. You need an 823 or
some external graphics controller.

Hi all.
I wanted to connect a LCD to a MPC823-based board and to use
microwindows too .

Correct.
But what happens when the externel controller is provided?
Is there a LinuxPPC driver for it?
Does the LCD device become such as a character device
(or something like that) that needs a suitable node in /dev
with its own driver to be registered?
I tryed to configure Wolfgang's 2.4.4-2001-11-24 kernel for
TQM860L and while (obviously) there is no LCD driver for
860, the framebuffer is still there...
Does it mean that anyway it is possible to use a LCD with MPC860?
Thank you for any answer!
Bye
Piero
